Queensryche – S/T (Release Year – 2003)

QueensrycheOk, you are probably asking yourself, Why is he reviewing a CD that had music that is 23 years old. (Well the music is anyway)

Well, I stumbled on this CD in my local music store to find that this ’83 classic has been re-released in 2003, totally remastered with 10 additional tracks from the 1984 Live in Tokyo that was only available on Laserdisc and never released on compact disc.

I figured the live tracks had to be worth the price of admission, especially to hear Geoff Tate when he could still hit the high notes.

If you are a metalhead like myself, the first few songs on this disc need no introduction. Queen of the Reich, Nightrider, Blinded and Lady Wore Black are all Queensryche classics. Its great to hear these songs in their finest form. Its amazing how much the band sounded like Iron Maiden in its initial incarnation.

You get the same tracks live plus The Prophecy a rare track that recorded for Rage for Order but never released, and a few tracks that ended up on The Warning.

This has pretty good sound for a live disc. I only had this on cassette previously (I know, some people are probably saying, what is a cassette? or course they probably said, whats a laser disc too!) LOL!

Bottomline, the live tracks were worth picking this one up again! When Geoff Tate and company were in their prime, very few bands were better than them. This CD is a great listen for any Queensryche fan.

    I have the original CD ‘Prophecy’ is also listed but there is a note that states “produced during the RAGE FOR ORDER sessions”. Is this song on the original vinyl? Either way, a classic debut E.P., the video for ‘Queen Of The Reich’ is priceless.

    No matter if its 23 years old, its timeless music. It was a great mini lp back in the early 80s, still great in 2006 and maybe even better in 2020. HEAVY METAL IS TIMELESS MUSIC.
